Purple Hummus
For a bold purple hue, substitute chickpeas with black beans. Blend in 2 garlic cloves and 3 small jalapeño peppers. Garnish with thin jalapeño slices for extra zing.
Green Hummus
Boost with 2 garlic cloves and 1 cup cooked peas. Top with finely chopped fresh mint for a refreshing finish.
Yellow Hummus
Achieve sunny yellow by adding 1 teaspoon turmeric and a whole head of roasted cauliflower—roast until golden for maximum flavor.
